B.Sc. Horticulture is an undergraduate 3 year agricultural science and technology curriculum.  It focuses on the science of growing plants for food, beauty, and environmental reasons. This degree blends technical understanding with a love of plant aesthetics. It focuses on the sustainable cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers, herbs, and ornamental plants. The program aims to provide students with a thorough understanding of plant biology, cultivation practices, and crop production technologies.

An M.Sc. in Horticulture is a 2-year advanced degree program that dives deep into the science of growing and managing fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. Students learn about plant breeding, pest management, sustainable farming practices, and the latest technologies in crop production. The course combines classroom learning with hands-on experience in gardens and greenhouses. This advanced degree equips students with in-depth knowledge and practical skills to contribute to the evolving field of horticulture, addressing challenges like food security, climate change adaptation, and sustainable agriculture.

 Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Plant Physiology typically spans 2 years and focuses on the biological processes and functions of plants. The curriculum includes advanced studies in plant biology, including topics such as photosynthesis, respiration, water relations, nutrient uptake, and plant growth regulation. Students engage in both theoretical learning and practical laboratory work, conducting experiments to understand plant responses to environmental factors. The program also emphasizes research methodologies, enabling students to undertake a thesis or project that contributes to the field. Graduates are prepared for careers in agriculture, horticulture, environmental science, and research institutions.

 Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Seed Science and Technology is a specialized program designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and skills in seed production, processing, testing, and marketing. Typically spanning 2 years, the curriculum covers topics such as seed biology, genetics, seed technology, and quality management. Students learn about the latest research and technologies in seed enhancement and sustainable agriculture practices. The program often includes practical training and internships, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. Graduates can pursue careers in research, agribusiness, seed certification agencies, and governmental agricultural organizations, contributing to global food security.

 Bachelor of Science Honours in Forestry is a 4-year undergraduate degree that focuses on the sustainable management and conservation of forests and natural resources. This multidisciplinary course focuses on forest ecology, wildlife conservation, agroforestry, forest economics, and climate change mitigation. Fieldwork, internships, and research projects provide students with practical skills that will prepare them for careers in forestry services, environmental consulting, and conservation groups. The program focuses on biodiversity protection, sustainable development, and contemporary forestry methods. Graduates can work in government, non-governmental organizations, and the business sector, or they can further their education in environmental sciences, forestry, or other relevant fields

Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Forestry is a postgraduate program focused on forest management, conservation, and sustainable use of forest resources. Typically spanning 2 years, the course equips students with advanced knowledge in silviculture, forest ecology, climate change impact, and biodiversity conservation. It includes theoretical learning, practical fieldwork, and research, enabling students to address global environmental challenges. Graduates can pursue careers in forestry management, environmental consultancy, wildlife conservation, or academic research. Eligibility usually requires a bachelor's degree in forestry, agriculture, or a related field. The program fosters critical thinking and technical skills to promote sustainable natural resource management.

B.Sc. in Plant Physiology is a 3-year undergraduate program that focuses on the study of plant biology, including the physiological processes and mechanisms that govern plant growth and development. This course covers a range of subjects such as plant biochemistry, photosynthesis, respiration, water relations, nutrient uptake, plant hormones, and environmental stress physiology. Students also learn about plant ecology, molecular biology, and the role of plants in agriculture and biotechnology. The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory work, offering students hands-on experience in analyzing plant systems and conducting experiments. Upon completion, graduates can pursue careers in research, agriculture, biotechnology, environmental science, and plant breeding, or further studies in advanced fields like plant biotechnology and molecular plant sciences.
